There is an error in your datasource configuration and the stack trace will tell you what is wrong with it (you only posted a partial stack trace so the actual part pointing to the solution isn't there). However my guess is the mysql jdbc driver isn't in your classpath...

Thank you Marten for being patient I've managed to get rid of most the errors apart from this one. I've been gooling it for a while it seems to be well known. I have tried most of the suggestions but as yet no joy. I've tried using Hibernate-core 3.6.10.Final that doesn't work either.

You have nothing that drives the transactions. You have the infrastructure ready (the transaction manager) but haven't specified where/when to start/stop a transaction. I suggest a read of the reference guide on how to do declarative transaction management.
